I don't know if it's legal or in bad taste, but I have a nice collection of
collection letters incurred. HEY, I own it and I want to exercise my freedom of free speech. With a photocopier, some white out (your info, not there's), and a scanner, I don't see why it would be a bad idea to archive the latest and greatest? Heck, if I had a million postage stamps, I would send these babies to Ottawa and to our government officials and our ministers.... I would even go as far as to hand-print there names in the whited out areas so they too know how it is to get a letter from a collection house regarding student debt. I would write in BIG LETTERS on back or bottom my status, my income, and what I studied, what I do now, and how long I've been trying to pay off my debt since 19XX. I would include it in my letter to minister so- and-so, this is how it feels to be afraid of your mailbox or your telephone. Actions speak louder then words....Okay, I'm getting off topic here. How would I make someone understand the bad and evil if they couldn't read it for themselves? I bet many of us would feel kinda relieved knowing that your letter and mine are no different from one another. I would like to scan them and post them on this thread BUT I think I'll wait for Johnny or and admin to okay it. Till then, anyone like this idea? |

Sounds like a good idea... Now wouldn't it be as equally informative to hear in audio... the recorded conversations???? How 'bout sending those to the minister. I looked at some interesting documents on another thread. I have a lovely believeable document from Mark Silverthorn... and the o-so-law abiding Collectcorp I'd post for the sake of the thread.

I think it's a fantastic idea. Have a gallery of collection
letters so people can see other collectors fear tactics and therefore
alleviate some of that fear. I have a bunch I've collected
including various forms of threats of lawsuits. As well, they're obvious form letters so if you remove any specific reference to you and the dates sent, the collectors would never know who you are. |
